Exercise your creativity with these drawing games.
People have often debated whether video games can truly be considered "art." Those who have played games full of highly-imaginative environments and beautifully animated characters would likely agree that games should, indeed, be called "art." Some games go beyond just giving you a fantastic world to play in, and ask the player to be the artist of it and its inhabitants. These games ultimately leave the experience to the imagination of the player.
